Dugger is scheduled to start the second game of Saturday's doubleheader with the Pirates, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dugger will be making his Reds debut in a starting role after Cincinnati claimed him off waivers from the Rays earlier this week. In his lone appearance with the Rays on May 1, Dugger worked 5.1 innings out of the bullpen, so he should be sufficiently stretched out for a starting role Saturday. Assuming Luis Castillo (shoulder) returns from the injured list during the upcoming week, Dugger will likely be moved to the bullpen following his start against the Pirates.

Dugger was claimed off waivers by the Reds on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Dugger made his Rays debut Sunday against Minnesota and allowed three runs while striking out seven in 5.1 relief innings. After being designated for assignment Monday, the right-hander will find a new home with the Reds. He doesn't have any options remaining, so he'll presumably join the major-league roster and is a candidate to start one of the two games in Saturday's doubleheader against Pittsburgh.

Dugger was designated for assignment by the Rays on Monday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dugger's contract was selected Sunday, but he'll exit both the active and 40-man rosters just one day later. He soaked up 5.1 innings out of the bullpen Sunday against the Twins, allowing three runs on eight hits while striking out seven, but he could wind up waiting a while for his next opportunity now that he's off the 40-man roster.

Tampa Bay selected Dugger's contract from Triple-A Durham on Sunday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

He'll join the bullpen as a replacement for Javy Guerra, who was designated for assignment after giving up four runs while recording only two outs in Saturday's loss to the Twins. Dugger last appeared in the majors in 2021 with the Mariners, starting in four of his 12 outings while posting a 7.36 ERA and 1.79 WHIP across 25.2 innings. The 26-year-old righty will likely serve as a mop-up man out of the Tampa Bay bullpen.

Dugger signed a minor-league deal with the Rays in early March, Chris Hilburn-Trenkle of Baseball America reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dugger spent the 2021 season in the Mariners organization, but he struggled mightily across 25.2 innings in the majors by posting a 7.36 ERA and 1.79 WHIP. He'll now get a chance to compete for a low-leverage bullpen role in Tampa Bay.

The Mariners outrighted Dugger to Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

With Dugger going unclaimed off waivers after the Mariners designated him for assignment Sunday, he'll remain in the organization and report to Tacoma. The 26-year-old righty posted a 7.36 ERA and 1.79 WHIP in 25.2 innings in the big leagues this season.

The Mariners designated Dugger for assignment Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Dugger will forfeit his spot on the 40-man roster one day after being called up from Triple-A Tacoma and subsequently getting pummeled for six runs (five earned) on seven hits and two walks over 3.1 innings of long relief in Saturday's 15-1 loss to the Astros. Seattle will replace him in the bullpen with another multi-inning arm in Matt Andriese, who was signed to a one-year deal and added to the 40-man roster ahead of Sunday's series finale in Houston.

Dugger was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Dugger was sent down in late June, and he worked as a starter during his stint at Triple-A Tacoma. The right-hander didn't have particularly good results, as he recorded a 7.31 ERA and 1.53 WHIP in 32 innings across seven starts since his demotion. He should serve as a low-leverage relief option after Diego Castillo (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list.

Dugger (0-2) allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits and two walks over 2.2 innings. He took the loss and struck out two batters in Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Dugger returned from a three-week stint with Triple-A Tacoma and was hit with his second loss of the season. He gave up two runs right out of the gate on a two-run double by Yermin Merceded in the first inning. The 25-year-old righty owns a 6.45 ERA through 22.1 innings this season. There's a good chance he'll head back to the minors in the near future.

Duggar is starting Game 2 against the White Sox on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The team didn't make an official announcement for Dugger's promotion to the big-league roster, but he's Seattle's starter for Sunday's nightcap in Chicago. The right-hander has a 6.41 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 17:8 K:BB over 19.2 innings this season.
